Following England's poor display, Frenchman Maupay sought to mock the Three Lions.

The 27-year-old wrote "It's coming home" on social media - accompanied by a clip of a man laughing hysterically.

Maupay's post quickly received more than 50,000 likes.

But some England fans looked to hit back.

One pointed out to Maupay, who is nowhere near the France squad: "You are at home."

While a second joked: "Are you still waiting for the call from Deschamps?"

Maupay gathered a huge reputation for winding stars up last season.

The Brentford loanee imitated James Maddison's darts celebration against Tottenham in January, before taking shots at the England international on social media.

He said: "People say footballers are boring, then all of a sudden a player does this and everyone goes, ‘Why, Neal?’ ‘He’s the most disliked player.’ Blah blah blah.

"For me, football is a game, it’s entertainment.

"I’m just having fun and, on the pitch, I’m trying to do everything to win.

"If I can say something that puts you off or makes you overthink and make a mistake, I’ll do it.

"People don’t realise how much tension and emotion is involved at the highest level.

"I think it works quite well and if I can get a reaction, great."
